The results of this experiment led to the model of the atom called

"Rutherford's model", rather than Thomson's model, which it basically disproved.

Some of the alpha particles were deflected in ways that suggested to Rutherford that most of the atom's mass was concentrated in a positively charged "nucleus".

How do particles transfer through radiation?

Particles can transfer through radiation by a process called scattering, where they collide with atoms or molecules in the medium they are passing through. This interaction can cause the particles to change direction or lose energy as they move through the medium. In some cases, particles may also be absorbed by the material they are passing through.


Does radiation involve heat passing through particles?

Heat doesn't pass through particles. On an atomic or sub-atomic level, heat is the speed with which the particles are either vibrating or moving. Some kinds of radiation are related to the temperature of the particles that emit the radiation, other kinds are not.


What is function of gill raker?

prevent food particles from passing through the branchial clefts.


How the movement particles linked with the changes of frequency and amplitude?

The movement of particles in a medium, such as air or water, affects the frequency and amplitude of a wave passing through that medium. As particles move more vigorously, the amplitude of the wave increases. Similarly, as particles move faster (higher frequency), the frequency of the wave passing through the medium increases.


What is the main observation of the Rutherford's experiment?

Most of the particles went through the foil, but some were deflected


What does the middle slit represent?

The middle slit in the double-slit experiment represents the interference pattern that occurs when light or particles passing through the two slits overlap and create an interference pattern on a screen. This interference pattern demonstrates the wave-like nature of the particles and is a key phenomenon in quantum mechanics.


Can dust travel through glass?

No, dust particles are too large to pass through the microscopic openings in glass. Glass is a solid barrier that prevents larger particles like dust from passing through.


Does smoke create rainbows?

Light passing through a transparent medium like glass/water does. Smoke is made of small particles of unburnt carbon, and light passing through is does not get split into a rainbow.


In Rutherford's gold foil experiment what particles were fired at a thin piece of gold?

I believe they are called the Alpha particles and yes, they did pass through a sheet of gold foil.


How does conduction affect the particles in something?

Conduction involves the transfer of heat through direct contact between particles in a substance. When particles are heated, they gain energy and vibrate more, passing the energy to neighboring particles through collisions. This continuous transfer of energy through conduction raises the temperature of the substance.


Who discovered the cathode ray experiment?

The cathode ray experiment was discovered by British physicist J.J. Thomson in 1897. Through this experiment, he was able to demonstrate the existence of negatively charged particles (electrons) and their properties.


What is the process of passing water through a series of screens to allow it to go without the larger particles?

It is known as filtration.
